Japan will look to continue their rich scoring form when they play China on matchday two of the EAFF East Asia Football Tournament on Saturday. We predict a win for Japan with over 2.5 goals in this match at the Yongin Mireu Stadium between the Samurai Blue and Dragon Team.
After a 6-1 win on matchday one, Japan are top of the standings with three points and a superior goal difference. China lost 3-0 to South Korea and are third with no points.
Five goals within the first 26 minutes charged Japan to a huge lead and eventually a comprehensive 6-1 win against Hong Kong. Going back to the World Cup qualifiers, that was the second game in a row that Japan scored six goals.
Japan are in great form recently too, winning 12 of their last 15 matches in all competitions and friendlies, losing just once.
China started their tournament with a loss, defeated 3-0 by the Republic of Korea. That continued their recent trend of poor results, as the Dragons have lost four of their last five matches.
Each of those losses has come with China failing to score, underlining their poor scoring form. Even their recent record against Japan isn’t something to inspire confidence, having lost both times in the qualifiers.

Our Japan vs China PR Prediction
Japan and China faced each other in the World Cup qualifiers, where Japan went on to top their group and qualify for the 2026 global edition, while China crashed in the third round itself. The gulf in class between the sides was evident in the two wins for Japan in that group, both coming with a clean sheet. Japan’s recent form has been equally impressive, with goals a common feature.
That could continue here as well, and our Japan vs China PR prediction is Japan win and over 2.5.
